Good game, so much potential
I just started getting into this game and it's got a lot of potential. I do think it's a fair representation of the tabletop Battletech. Make not mistake though, this game is a resource hog. My biggest complaint is the same with most "cutting edge" games of today. In my opinion the game suffers trying to make it look so beautiful. It is a great looking game and takes advantage of all the latest advancements in rendering technology. But why? I like managing squads of mechs. I like salvaging from the battlefield. I love the thrill of tactical success. Stories and scenarios are great. This can all be done without bleeding edge graphics. Sure, studios don't want their game to look antiquated, but it doesn't have to require the latest drivers not to crash either. Two-year-old rendering technology is just fine to make a world-class game. (I'm content with MUCH older, but I understand that not everybody else is) The game does have the ability to turn off a lot of the camera manipulation, which is just about the first thing I wanted to. After seeing one mech be destroyed in cinematic fashion, I was over it. I want to play and be involved. I don't want to watch movies. I don't want long loading times. Hopefully I can tune more of this crap down as I get into things. I am happy with the pacing now but as I start playing more I'm going to want to tune down the "fluff" even more, I suspect. I did have it crash 2 times on me before I updated my graphics card driver. I played one mission after the update and no crashes so I'm hopeful but really didn't play it long enough to see that there were no memory leaks (which I'm suspicious of because of the garbage in the logs). FWIW I'm on a linux mint box with an 8gig nvidia card. I updated from driver version 384 to 410. I have a feeling I will get pulled into this game though. It's a good game with the potential to be great if it just tried a little less in the graphic department and was more stable.
